Royse City, TX (October 26, 2021) – One person has lost their life as a result of a motor vehicle accident in the Royse City area on Tuesday, according to reports.
On October 26, emergency crews were notified that a crash took place on Interstate 30.
Reports show that a semi-truck was traveling on Interstate 30 when the driver failed to notice traffic slowing on the roadway ahead. As a result, the semi-truck rear-ended a second semi-truck near mile marker 75. The axles were knocked out from under the trailer and were pushed back into a passenger vehicle.
One person involved in the accident suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene.
An undisclosed number of people inside the passenger vehicle were transported to local hospitals for further care.
At this time, the police department is investigating the crash.
Our thoughts are with the victims injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.
We would like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who lost their life in this accident.
Fatal Truck Accidents in Texas
Accidents involving semi-trucks and commercial vehicles account for more than 530 fatal crashes. These vehicles are much larger than other passenger vehicles sharing the road. As a result, they are more likely to be destructive in collisions. These crashes can often be contributed to some form of negligence. In fact, nearly 80% of collisions in our state are due to driver error. Some leading causes of collisions we see each year include:
- Drowsy driving
- Driving while distracted by phones and other objects
- Driving while impaired
- Exceeding federally regulated hour limits
- Overloading cargo
If your family has been impacted by a fatal truck accident, chances are that you will deal with more than just emotional pain and suffering.
